| Date | Event | Position | Chart of the sky and the day in detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Moon in Capricorn The peak of the cycle: everything is visible, feelings are louder. The tone is set by Capricorn: with discipline, for the long haul, by the rules. | 11°18′ Capricorn | Day → | |

| N. Node enters Aries sign change Here the theme runs fast, head-on, no warm-up — in Aries. | 0°00′ Aries | Day → | |

| Mercury enters Virgo sign change The mind catches every inconsistency and knows how to fix it: a good time for calculations, editing and precise instructions. | 0°00′ Virgo | Day → |

Retrograde Planets in July
The bar shows what part of the month each planet spends moving backward. Retrograde motion isn't a "ban" – it's a change of rhythm: the planet's theme needs more attention and a second look.
- Venus retrograde – you get pulled back to what already happened: old relationships, old purchases, an old sense of taste.
- Saturn retrograde – a stress test: unfinished commitments and old debts come back around.
- Neptune retrograde – the fog lifts: you can see where the illusions were.
- Pluto retrograde – deep work: the old lets go slowly and with no witnesses.
- Chiron retrograde – an old wound speaks up again – so that it finally gets heard.
Void of Course Moon in July
The void of course Moon is the gap after the Moon has made its last exact aspect in a sign and before it enters the next one. The classic rule is that whatever begins then "comes to nothing" – bad for launches, signatures and purchases, good for routine, tidying, rest and finishing off old things. This month has 14 of them, 32 hours in total.
| Starts | Ends | Duration | Last aspect | Moon enters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2 | July 2 | 3 hr 47 min | Square to Neptune | in Capricorn |
| July 4 | July 4 | 0 hr 44 min | Conjunction to Pluto | in Aquarius |
| July 6 | July 6 | 3 hr 51 min | Opposition to Mars | in Pisces |
| July 8 | July 8 | 0 hr 57 min | Sextile to Pluto | in Aries |
| July 10 | July 10 | 0 hr 44 min | Square to Mercury | in Taurus |
| July 13 | July 13 | 1 hr 15 min | Trine to Pluto | in Gemini |
| July 15 | July 15 | 4 hr 38 min | Square to Neptune | in Cancer |
| July 17 | July 18 | 1 hr 34 min | Opposition to Pluto | in Leo |
| July 20 | July 20 | 3 hr 04 min | Conjunction to Venus | in Virgo |
| July 23 | July 23 | 1 hr 48 min | Trine to Pluto | in Libra |
| July 25 | July 25 | 1 hr 50 min | Square to Pluto | in Scorpio |
| July 27 | July 27 | 1 hr 48 min | Sextile to Pluto | in Sagittarius |
| July 29 | July 29 | 3 hr 53 min | Trine to Venus | in Capricorn |
| July 31 | July 31 | 1 hr 45 min | Conjunction to Pluto | in Aquarius |
We count the classical (Ptolemaic) aspects from the Moon to the Sun and to the planets from Mercury to Pluto. Sites that count only the seven traditional planets get longer windows – sometimes by a day or more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an astrology calendar, exactly?
It is a schedule of what happens in the sky: when planets form exact angles to each other (aspects), when they move from sign to sign, when the Moon goes through its phases, and when a planet turns retrograde. A horoscope is somebody's interpretation. An astrology calendar is the raw data those interpretations are built on.
Why don't your times match another site?
Usually it is the time zone. Many astrology sites publish in Universal Time (UT), and we show Eastern Time by default, which is 4 or 5 hours behind it. That alone can move an event to the neighbouring day. The time zone switch in the panel at the top settles it in a second.
Does an aspect work exactly at the minute you list?
That is the minute it goes exact. The effect is felt wider – usually a day before and a day after, and for slow planets, for weeks. The exact time tells you where the peak is; it is not something to set an alarm for.
What do you do with a void of course Moon?
Don't start anything that matters in that window: signings, purchases, introductions, first meetings. It is excellent time for routine, for clearing the backlog, for tidying up and for rest. The windows run from a few minutes to a full day – see the table above.
Is a retrograde planet a bad thing?
No. Retrograde motion is an optical effect: from Earth the planet appears to move backward. Astrologically it is a change of mode: the planet's theme works inward and backward instead of forward. The only bad move is pushing hard at something that has no tailwind right now.
Where do these numbers come from?
We calculate the dates from the NASA JPL ephemerides JPL DE440. There is more about the sources and the checks on the methodology page.

Where else to look
The wheel uses the tropical zodiac, 0° Aries on the left, signs running counterclockwise. The lines in the middle are the exact angles between planets at that moment.
